Ok, we all knew this would happen, Mad Man has released TFTM(86) on Bluray disk. At an over inflated price of $34.99, I was disappointed to find out that there is nothing new featured on the disk, despite the massive amount of space that BRD's are known for.
To my sadness, the past 3 releases of the film have not had the Star Wars style scrolling text at the beginning. Which we here in Australia (not me, I was to young :() and in the UK got in theoretical releases and this is no exception, but I suppose that bringing the movie out again would encourage younger fans to buy it, and with the scrolling text, would give the story away.
I have, so far tried to watch it 3 times, but all being failures, I fell asleep twice cause of the time of the morning I was laying in bed watching it, I also tried to watch it yesterday morning, but to no avail. So I'm watching it as I write this up.
Displayed in 1080P, the picture quality and color is amazing and my brother who cant tell the difference in Bluray and DVD can see it in this. The video also appears to play quicker, I'm not sure if it's just me or this is actually happening. it would seem that they have fixed alot of the scratchiness of the picture, and that makes up for the lack of new features.
The lighting in the film is 100% better, random flashes in the Autobot city battle look a hell of alot better and every time I see one, I want to see another.
Springer and Arcee just transformed the city, and the transformation looks great, the White and Orange displayed in full HD is just beautiful.
We are at one of the highlights of the movie, Prime and Megs, as prime transformed, the camera did a quick flash of a group of Cons running across the city. I could see them all clearly and name them all, i couldn't do this on any of the DVDs I have of the film.
"The Decepticons are retreating". The gun shots from Arcee and Cup in that scene look really good, almost like they have been redone completely. Prime is now dead, the matrix has been passed and Unicron is pissed, I am unsure who did the animation on the inside of Cron but they deserve an award, looks brilliant. The transformation of Megs into Galvi is crazy, you can see each line making up his internal mechanics. Making that scene a real joy and new excitement to watch.
The sound isn't much better IMO, but then again, I'm using the speakers on my tv, not my surround sound system.
In the Bios of all the transformers that have a large roll in the film, it says that Skywarp was made into Cyclonus, not Kickback who is clearly in the for-ground.
Ok I haven't seen past where I am in the movie right now on BR, so I'm signing off to complete my viewing.
I'll finish this after the movie :)
